Eating all your calories

So is the 656 calories including your exercise calories?

Edit: above poster beat me to it

What is your body telling you? Are you hungry or not. If you are not hungry chances are you did not burn as many calories as you think you did. I would just listen to my body. If I was hungry or fealt I did a hard weight training and needed extra protein I might eat some of it; otherwise wrap it up.

Unfortunately, hunger can be one of the less reliable indicators that you're getting enough to eat. Your body sends out the hormones that control hunger based partially on habit, which is why very obese people may feel hungry all the time and many underweight people claim to not feel hunger at all. Energy levels, performance, focus and concentration, skin, hair, nails, etc. should all be taken into account along with hunger.

May I ask how you burned 1157 calories in an hour and a half? I just jogged my *kitten* off for 30 minutes and burned 147 :P Hope I misunderstand, or please tell me your secret

I would like to know also

I have 656 calories left over and I have been exercised 1.5 hours total (1157 cals) today thus earning a ton of calories. My question is do I really have to eat that? I can't think of anything I can eat that is healthy to consume all of those calories.

1157 calories in 90 minutes of exercise......wow....what do you do to burn that much ?

How are you estimating your exercise calories? If you're using MFP or gym machines I would assume that they're inflated.

Not trying to be mean, but unless you are morbidly obese I very seriously doubt you burned 1100 cals in an hour and a half. Be careful trusting what MFP says, because they generously overestimate calorie burns.

You are correct; however, I still have my doubts about the 1157 calories. I am over 2 hundred pounds, I can do that kind of burn. But not normal gym stuff; I have to go do MMA style training to get that kind of burn rate.

Its spread out over the whole day. Cleaning, Walking for an hour, doing strength training, walking for another 15 min or so ect.

Do not eat back exercise cals if you are doing it this way - estimating based on these activities. Most of these things are included in your current calorie allowance I am guessing. Eating back all of what you are estimating as burned will keep you in the same place you are (going on the small amount of information you have given us to work with).
